During a recent government meeting, officials discussed traffic concerns related to a new coffee shop construction project at 431 West Dayton Road in Imperial. Staff reported no significant issues, noting that the site plan has improved accessibility and organization compared to the previous layout. The primary concern raised was traffic management, particularly the potential need to block off the driveway on Aiden Road and redirect traffic through Myrtle Road if necessary.

The commission confirmed that all concerns had been addressed in the conditions of approval for the project, and no public comments were received during the meeting. Following a brief discussion, the commission unanimously voted to recommend approval for the conditional use permit for the new construction.

In addition to the coffee shop discussion, the meeting included updates on community events, including a reminder about the upcoming Dia de los Muertos celebration on October 19th. Commissioners expressed excitement about the recent opening of the Cambria Hotel, highlighting its potential to stimulate growth in the northern part of Imperial. The hotel, which faced skepticism during its planning stages, is now seen as a pivotal development for the area.

The meeting concluded with a light-hearted exchange among commissioners, reflecting on their community involvement and upcoming local events, including \"Movies in the Park.\" Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to addressing community concerns while fostering development and engagement in Imperial.
